| Description | U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn showed a “disregard for the rules” of Congress and a “recklessly self-serving approach to his position” when the eight-term Colorado Republican ignored COVID-19 safety protocols, let his son live in the basement of the U.S. Capitol and required government employees to run personal errands for the family, a former staffer alleged in federal court Thursday.
The lawsuit was filed in Washington, D.C., District Court by Brandon Pope, who claims he contracted COVID-19 and was ultimately fired in December “for seeking to protect employees from unsafe conditions in the workplace.”
Lamborn, who is from Colorado Springs and represents the very conservative 5th Congressional District, issued a short statement through spokeswoman Cassandra Sebastian: “The workplace safety allegations made by Mr. Pope are unsubstantiated and did not result in the termination of his employment. Congressman Lamborn looks forward to full vindication as all facts come to light.” |
